Several improbable but true stories intersect in the film. Athlete sisters run methodically, like robots and it is the only thing they can do to survive.

Zurab keeps destroying the city to build a new life for himself and his family, and Archil moves in a limbo unable to make a decision between his passion (theater) and money (working at the mines).
